Zonguldak
The major center of coal production, Zonguldak has developed rapidly after coal
had been found here. It is also an important port in the Black Sea.
Zonguldak has very beautiful beaches in Kopuz and Uzunkum, where you may choose
one of the tea gardens or restaurants to watch the perfect scene around. If you
are a nature-lover photography then you will take plenty of photos. Eregli, 60
kms west of Zonguldak, is located on a hill where a Byzantine castle stands.
Eregli has a mythological significance and it is said that near here at
Kavakderesi Hercules caught the three-headed dog Cerberus and returned it to
Hades, the god of underworld. Cerberus stayed the cave called "Cehennemagzi" (Entrance
to Hell) which is located near Kavakderesi outside Eregli. It has fine beaches
and is a haven for ships. When passing through do not forget to taste the
delicious strawberries of Eregli which are among the best in the world.
